  1. Does the CG Classic require a bit less wing angle, as the original CG fin seems to, for most users?
  2. "Push your hips or junk towards the boat !!!" That bio-mechanical movement forces front foot pressure and stabilizes the ski. "Standing up", does not necessarily create front foot pressure.
  3. The picture with the eyes confirms how ugly and dopey that design is !!! And what is up, everyone seems to love the "baby poop" brown Seadek. Whatever happened to gray? So much more classic and understated. The brown will look so dated in a few of years. Just like the tan hull color of a few years ago, looks now.
  4. $80K retail, but if you want ALL the seat cushions it will cost you another $1600. Isn't that like selling any road vehicle without all the seats. You don't really need them (you COULD just sit on the floor). But if you want them, it is going to cost you !!!
  5. Bruce knows what he is talking about !!!
  6. Ran across this ski in new condition. Picked it up for someone who has nothing and is limited to acquire anything. Just wanting to set it up for them.
  7. I am looking for stock fin settings for a 66” Duvall 1050s...thanks for any help !!!
  8. Is the oil filter wrapped with Seadek for easy tightening and loosening?
  9. Not just the California guys do nice gelcoat work !!!
  10. I am going to say what some of you are thinking. If I had a $100K plus boat, I wouldn't let my kids in it, let alone a dog !!!
  11. Feeling proud that my son is giving back to the sport (link below)!!! Check out everything going on in Collegiate skiing at NCWSA.com, home page of the National Collegiate Water Ski Association. http://www.ncwsa.com/introducing-your-new-ncwsa-south-central-region-vice-chair-jackson-driggs/
  12. I just fixed mine about six months ago. The above video gives you a feel for what is going on with the actual shifter and throttle. Remove the screws on the exposed black plate. The entire unit will then drop out of the side gunnel. At that point you will have what is displayed in the video above. You will have to remove the cables by pulling the pins. Then you can remove the shift/throttle assembly from the black plate and post that the lever attaches to. The lever comes off with the allen screw on the bottom of the lever. you can then see where the spring is and if it is broken or fatigued. I was able to go to the local mom/pop hardware store and find a replacement spring. I did have to cut the replacement spring down to the appropriate size (dremel cutting disc). Also, the small metal block/key gets rounded off over time. I was able to file it back to having better corners, which facilitates the locking effect. While you are working on the unit be sure and grease up all the moving parts on the actual shift/throttle assembly. The ease of function when I lubed everything was remarkable (don't lube the key/block or the slot that it fits in). I am reasonably mechanical but not a whiz, just pay attention to how it all comes apart. Good Luck and Enjoy !!!
  13. Anyone use the PhantomX helmet for jump? Pros and Cons? Thanks!
